This series will result in just the second American captain hoisting the Stanley Cup.

Trivia: Who was the first? (don't look it up)

Derian Hatcher. That ************ hit people HARD.

Side note, does anyone remember the commentary from NHL '99? I was at someone's house for a party and they had it on N64 and I played it the entire night while everyone else was playing beer pong. I laugh so hard everytime the commentator says the last names. "LIDSTROM!" "NIEDERMAYER!" "TKACHUK!" Guy, you don't have to yell at me.

Hatcher had the best/worst fighting style. I have to hate him forever, though. His only pass, as with many others, is the World Cup.

London deserves it more. Shawinigan has had a great run these last couple games but they are only here because they're the host team. It was pretty clear that Edmonton and St. John were gassed so hopefully the few days of rest London has had here will even things up a little since Shawinigan's had a month off to get ready for this tournament.
